Pedro Acosta’s third win in four Moto3 races this season has done little to dampen the hype surrounding him, as the 16 year-old Spaniard takes a 51 points lead into L🍨e Mans. 

At face value, Jerez seemed to be his trickiest race weekend so far as he n𓆏eeded to advance thro♏ugh Q1, before ultimately qualifying in 13th position. 

However, Acosta made꧑ his way through the pack with relative ease just as we witnessed during the second Qa♚tar Grand Prix before taking his third win in a row. 

Le Mans will be a new experience for Acosta as he’s never competed there before, but based on his performances in Doha - again a ꧟new circuit to him, it’s highly unlikely to cause any issues.

"This weekend we will work to improve our performance in Free Practice and, consequently, in qualifying. I have never been to Le Mans before, so we will have to adapt quickly," ad🦩ded Acosta. 

"However, I like the way the layout looks, and my first impression is good. The aims for this Grand Prix a🧜re once again the same as we set for ourselves at previous rounds: To learn, have fun and enjoy each runout on track."

Afterꦺ winning the first🌳 race of the season, team-mate Jaume Masia has endured a difficult three race run. 

Two ninth place finishes before being taken out of a podium place by Deniz Oncu at the final cornerಞ in Jerez has left Masia fifth in the standings, 56 points down on Acosta.

Speaking ahead of tꦛhis weekend’s French GP, a race where he finished fourth last year, Masia said: "The target for the French Grand Prix is the same as always: To work well, on the right path, and find a good setup in order to be able to fi൩ght for a positive result. 

"We will try to make as few🧜 mistakes as possible and do our best o🧜n Sunday. 

"Obviously, I will try to fight for the podium and pick up as many points as we can. We꧂ will give our 100% tꦿo be prepared for the race."
